From the recording Twilight
Lyrics
[VERSE 1]
The darkness opened like a doorway
And the night refused to end
I stepped into the silence shaking
Knowing it was me or him
I felt the pull beneath my heartbeat
Like a truth I’d never owned
And if the shadows wanted payment
I would walk that path alone
[PRE-CHORUS]
He will never know the cost
Never hear the fear I hold
I’m slipping past the edge now
So he can keep his radiant soul
[CHORUS]
I’m endlessly falling—
Letting go of every light
Trading breath for borrowed strength
Trading all my days for night
I’m endlessly falling—
And the truth I never spoke
Breaks against the dark below
[VERSE 2]
I never meant to be his answer
Never meant to feel this deep
Fate doesn’t wait for understanding
It just cuts before you speak
If salvation has a doorway
Then the price is always pain
So I’ll take the steps in silence
So he never walks this way
[PRE-CHORUS]
He will never know the cost
Never hear the fear I hold
I’m slipping past the edge now
So he can keep his radiant soul
[CHORUS]
I’m endlessly falling—
Letting go of every light
Trading breath for borrowed strength
Trading all my days for night
I’m endlessly falling—
And the truth I never faced
Echoes in the empty space
[VERSE 3]
And if someday he comes to seek me
And wonders why I’m gone
Tell him nothing of the breaking
Just keep him walking on
For the love I never named
Is the only thing I’ve saved
And the world can’t bear its weight
[BRIDGE]
If the darkness wants a promise
It can take it from my skin
I will give it every heartbeat
And never speak again
For the love I never claimed
Is the reason that I fall
And he’ll never know at all
[FINAL CHORUS]
I’m endlessly falling—
Letting go of every light
Trading breath for borrowed strength
Trading all my days for night
I’m endlessly falling—
And the truth I couldn’t say
Is the one I give away
[REFRAIN]
I’m falling… endlessly falling—
And I’m never coming back
No… no—
Never coming back
